Acknowledgement of Services & Disclosure
 

In recognition that millions of Californians receive a substantial volume of healthcare services from complementary and alternative health care practitioners, California Law allows access by California residents to complementary and alternative healthcare practitioners who are not providing services that require medical training and credentials. 

The following disclosure is provided in compliance with Section 2053.6 of the California Business and Professions Code. The purpose of a program of hypnotherapy is for vocational and avocational self-improvement (Business and Professions Code 2908) and as alternative or complementary treatment to healing arts services licensed by the state. A certified hypnotherapist is not a licensed physician or psychologist, and hypnotherapy services are not licensed by the State of California. Services are non-diagnostic and do not include the practice of medicine, neither should they be considered as a substitute for licensed medical or psychological services or procedures.  

Hypnosis works with the power of the subconscious mind to change habits and behaviors. During hypnotherapy sessions, clients remain completely aware of everything that is going on. Many people experience a hyper-awareness where sensations are perceived and the ability to visualize or imagine is enhanced. In some cases, it might be necessary for a Hypnotherapist to respectfully touch a client's head, shoulder, arm, wrist, hand, feet or leg to assist in relaxation or specific technique.   

The use of hypnosis could elicit memories of past events which may or may not be literally true. It is possible that events under hypnosis will be distorted or misconstrued. Memories or images evoked under hypnosis are not necessarily accurate and may be a construction or a composite of memories. Without corroborating information, it is not possible to determine whether a specific memory is true or false, even if it seems true to the client. 

While it is the practice of Hypnotherapists to keep information confidential, information revealed in hypnotherapy is not subject to the psychotherapist-patient privilege. The court may order disclosure of information learned in therapy. The client herewith will not hold the above responsible in any way, nor shall any claims be valid in reference to such methods, instructions and programs in the teaching of relaxation and behavior modification self-improvement. 

A hypnotherapist will to the best of their ability to accomplish the objectives as quickly as possible during the sessions. While hypnosis may be an effective technique for many purposes, the effectiveness may vary for each person and no specific results, or progress can be promised or guaranteed.
